All levels dance class to build community and experience joy!

The seeds for chitra.MOVES were planted when my family and I moved briefly to Cleveland from 2015-2018. I found an incredible community of dancers who became friends, collaborators and mentors. At that time, nearly all of the street dance scene in Cleveland existed outside of any formal studio/organization- taking place in parks, garages, basements, and clubs. Some dancers wanted to learn more about my classical movement background. We started informally experimenting with movement and choreography, blending styles together and exploring new concepts. It started simple-gathering at the park, sharing choreography, filming, laughing, and having fun. The rawness and self-awareness of the dancers inspired me to take a more organized approach to performance.

Drawing from the passion/talents built up in Cleveland/Pittsburgh and then expanded in DC, chitra.MOVES has become a collective of diverse artists, coming together to create, exchange, and build relationships.
